CalibReader vs Actually Read

Read your EPUBs like a real book: two pages side by side on iPad and iPhone Duo, with real page curls. PDFs open as two-page spreads too. Open your ebook files straight from Files, Safari, Mail or AirDrop, or bring your whole calibre library: CalibReader shelves them with covers and series, and keeps your place on every device. BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO Open iPhone Duo and your book becomes a two-page spread, with real page curls. Close it and the book closes: the cover screen shows its cover, leather-bound with the title in gold or the original art. Tap to keep reading, one page at a time. Your place holds through every fold, and turning the open phone to portrait gives you a single page. YOUR EPUB AND PDF FILES Any folder of EPUB or PDF files becomes a library with covers, sorting and search. WORKS WITH YOUR CALIBRE LIBRARY Point CalibReader at your calibre library folder and every book, cover, series, tag and synopsis appears as you organised it. Nothing to convert, no lock-in.

Actually Read brings your books together, helps you organize them on beautiful shelves, and blocks distractions so you can focus on the book in front of you. YOUR BOOKS, ALL IN ONE PLACE Build a library that reflects your reading life. Bring together your EPUBs, PDFs, physical books, and books you read elsewhere. Organize them into shelves, arrange your collection, and add decorations to make each shelf your own. Browse your books and share your creations. PROTECT YOUR READING TIME Put distractions aside and spend more time with your book. Start a focus session, set a timer or read at your own pace, and use Deep Focus to block the apps, categories, and websites you choose with Screen Time. Whether you’re reading on your phone or holding a physical book, Actually Read helps you stay focused. SEE YOUR READING ADD UP Track your books and reading sessions, revisit your history, and see the time you’ve spent reading. Return to a calm, customizable space built around your current book. READ AND LISTEN YOUR WAY Import EPUBs and PDFs or discover free public-domain books. Search within your books, save bookmarks, highlight passages, and pick up where you left off. Turn English EPUB ebooks into audiobooks with natural-sounding Advanced Audio. Choose from multiple voices, follow along in the reader, or listen in the background. Audio is generated on-device, so you can listen offline. Additional English voices are available with Actually Read Plus. A READING COMPANION THAT KNOWS YOUR BOOK Go deeper with AI that helps you engage with what you’re reading. Ask about a theme, scene, or passage; get a Story So Far recap; or request a chapter summary when you’re ready. Actually Read retrieves relevant passages from your book to ground its answers, with supporting citations you can open in the reader. It can also respect your reading progress to help avoid spoilers. YOUR BOOKS, YOUR PRIVACY Book indexing, embeddings, and retrieval happen on-device. On devices with Apple Intelligence enabled, on-device AI can answer questions without sending your questions or book content to the cloud. When you choose Advanced AI, only your question and the relevant excerpts retrieved to answer it are sent to the cloud—never the full book. Some features require compatible hardware, Apple Intelligence, Screen Time permission, or an internet connection. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
